Trash General Management. Rude and acts entitled. Don't you dare return a wrong part that was sold to you and not need a replacement. You would think after all these years Advance Auto Part would have their stuff together. 👎🤷🏻♂️👎

Just went here for a small part and the bigger guy with the glasses seemed to be very put off he had to do anything. Bad attitude didn’t even try to help with my issue. Made me feel like I was disrupting his day. Guess I’ll go down to autozone, part I needed was 15$ more for the same thing.

Purchased a battery and had an employee install it. The positive terminal nut was rusted. The employee was struggling removing it. He ended up stripping the bolt and removed the terminal by loosening it enough to slide it up and off. When he installed the new battery he connected the positive terminal by sliding it down on to the battery. I expressed my concern that the positive terminal was not tight and the bolt was now stripped. He dismissed me and gave some bs as to why it was okay. Drove home, then later that day my vehicle wouldn’t start. I had to move the positive terminal around to make it connect. I had to purchase nut extractor and fixed the problem myself. Will never purchase from Advanced Auto again.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
